LANTERN-HOLDER FOR VEHICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,307, dated September 21, 1886.

Application filed July 510, 1886. Serial No. 208,564. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILE CESAR GENEUX, a citizen of the United States, residing at J eaneret-t-e, in the parish of Iberia and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lantern-Holders; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The invent-ion will first be described in conneetion with all that is necessary to a full understanding thereof, and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a rear elevation, and Fig. 3 a group of detail views showing the several parts of spring.

In the drawings, A represents a wire having an S-hook, a, at one end, and an eye, a, at the other.

B is a second wire having the opposite end hooks, b b, bent into or nearly into a horizontal plane; then carried down and folded at b, and bent in opposite directions at 1) b then carried up and coiled at b b,- then carried down and coiled to form eyesb If, and, finally, the U-hook b v O is a wire having hook ends 0 0 passed through the eyes I) b and crossed at 0. These hooks fasten on two wires, (1 d, of the vehiclelantern D, and the wire C also passes through the eye a of the wire A.

E is a fourth wire having end hooks, e e, and in the middle made to form the hook e, the latter receiving the wire (1 of the lantern, while the ends a e hook over the same lantern-wire just beyond the vertical wires (1 d. The shank b of the wire Bis pressed or sprung into the hole 9 of the bracket G, and is retained therein by its tension and by the weight of the lantern. Thus the device con sists of four spring-wires.

The bracket G is formed of the two parts g and g, the first being right-angled, rabbeted .at and provided with projecting lip 9 Into the groove formed by the rabbet and lip fits the rabbeted upper end of the part g, which is also rabbeted on the inside at By means of the screw-bolts H H the bracket or lantern-holder G is clamped to the dashframe of the vehicle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is 4 The combination of the four wires A B O E, bent into the shapes shown and described, to connect a lantern with its holder in the manner specified.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EMILE oEsAE GENEUX.
